Visual Studio: cannot access resources from code

I added several files (HTML, CSS, etc.) as resources to my Visual Studio project. According to MSDN, I should be able to access these resources via

MyProjectName.Properties.Resources.Filename

Unfortunately, IntelliSense doesn't even know the Properties property behind MyProjectName. If I type "MyProjectName.", IntelliSense offers me several things but no properties. I already built the project, but nothing changed.

If this is important: that project is not the main/startup project of my Visual Studio solution.

c# .net visual-studio resources

You need to add them here:

  1. Project menu
  2. MyProjectName Properties
  3. Resources tab
  4. "Click here to create resources" (if necessary)
  5. Select Files menu
  6. Add Resource

Now you can access them using MyProjectName.Properties.Resources.Filename
